Ed Orgeron says all LSU players, coaches and families are safe in wake of Hurricane Ida

LSU coach Ed Orgeron said on Wednesday that all players and coaches, along with their families, are safe after Hurricane Ida tore through the Gulf Coast this week.

However, he said, some families experienced severe damages to their homes and have been displaced by the storm that caused widespread flooding in New Orleans and areas across the state of Louisiana.

"Our administration has been trying to help with anyone who has needed help," he said. "Everybody's OK. Some of their houses are really damaged. Some are displaced in hotels. For the most part, I think everybody's fine.
